‘28 HARRISONS’ NURSERIES, BERLIN, MD. 
Wealthy.—From Minnesota; not tested South. Fruit medium, oblate; whit- 
ish yellow ground, shaded with deep rich crimson in the sun, obscure, broken 
stripes and mottlings in the shade, sometimes entirely covered with crimson;. 
many light dots; flesh white, fine-grained, stained with red, tender, juicy, live- 
ly, vinous, subacid; very good. 
Winesap.— We can hardly find words sufficiently strong to express the high 
opinion we have of this fruit, possessing, as it does, a combination of so many 
excellent qualities. For cider it has but few equals; for table it stands among 
the best; for keeping it is justly esteemed; and for bearing it scarcely has a ri- 
val. Considering all this, we most earnestly recommend it to the consideration 
of orchardists. Fruit medium size, rather oblong; skin smooth, of a fine, dark 
red, with a few streaks, and a little yellow ground appearing on the shady side; 
flesh yellow, firm, crisp, with a rich, high flavor. December to April. 
Mammoth Black Twig (Arkansas Paragon.)—Originated in Arkansas. A. 
seedling of the Winesap, which it resembles, but it is superior in many ways. 
Large, deep red; subacid; early and abundant bearer, and a good keeper; the 
tree is a strong grower, and roots well. This valuable winter apple has but few 
equals. December to April. 25 cts. each, $2.50 per dozen, $20 per hundred. 
Nickajack.—This apple is very widely disseminated in the Southern states, 
where it is known under about forty different names, which is pretty good evi- 
dence that it has proved itself a valuable sort. Fruit large, roundish; skin strip- 
ped and splashed with crimson; flesh yellowish, compact, moderately tender and 
juicy, subacid; quality only good. November to March. 
Northern Spy.—Large, conical, flattened; striped, and quite covered on th 
sunny side with dark crimson, and delicately coated with bloom; flesh white, 
fine-grained, tender, slightly subacid; both leaf and blossom-buds open a week 
later than most other sorts. An apple of very high character, but we cannot 
advise its planting south of Pennsylvania, except in mountain regions. Novem- 
ber to February. 
Northwestern Greening.—A Wisconsin seedling of great value; has stood 
the most trying tests and found to be equal to Wealthy in point of hardiness, 
but superior in fruit and keeping qualities; large, smooth, greenish yellow; flesh 
fine grained, juicy, firm; good quality; thoroughly tested. January to April. 
Pewaukee—A seedling from Duchess of Oldenburg. Fruit medium to large, 
oblate, waved; surface bright yellow, partially covered with dull red: striped 
and splashed, covered with a gray bloom, and overspread with whitish knots; 
flesh yellowish white. January to June. 
Nero.—A very beautiful winter apple; tree a good grower and profuse bear- 
er; extremely popular in New Jersey, where it is sought after and planted large- 
ly; prized for its good size, fine appearance, and remarkable keeping qualities. I 
should say this apple was a seedling of the Carthouse, retaining all the good 
qualities of its parent, but much larger in size. 
CRAB APPLES. 
Hyslop.—Fruit large for its class; produces in clusters; dark rich red, cov- 
ered with a thick blue bloom: good for culinary uses and for cider. 
Transcendant. Fruit large for its class; golden yellow, with a beautiful, 
rich, crimson cheek; when ripe, the red or crimson nearly covers the fruit; flesh 
creamy yellow, crisp, sub-acid, pleasant and agreeable; this is truly a beautiful 
fruit; tree a rapid grower and productive. September. 
‘‘T have just had a call trom a traveling tree-agent, who wanted to sell me 
trees ut $15 per hundred. I told him of you and gave him your catalogue. He 
said he wouid make out his orders for stock to you instead of th: firm he was 
representing. He has sold large quantities of nursery stock all through this 
section, coming every spring now for years, and no doubt he will write you an‘ 
sell your stock. I have found your trees superior to the trees I have had from 
him, and we have paid much less for your trees Your trees are perfectly hardy 
here. and do well. E. E. KEEDY, Mass.
